There are several steps involved in the process of transforming a sound into a signal that can be understood by the brain.Which of the following displays these steps in the correct order?
A) (1) sound wave,(2) eardrum vibration,(3) pressure wave in fluid
B) (1) eardrum vibration,(2) pressure wave in fluid,(3) sound wave
C) (1) sound wave,(2) pressure wave in fluid,(3) eardrum vibration
D) (1) eardrum vibration,(2) sound wave,(3) pressure wave in fluid
Eardrum Vibration
The movement of the eardrum in response to sound waves, crucial for the hearing process.
Sound Wave
A type of wave that is an oscillation of pressure transmitted through a solid, liquid, or gas, composed of frequencies within the range of hearing and capable of producing a sound sensation.
Pressure Wave
A type of wave in which the oscillations occur in the direction of propagation, often found in sound waves.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The correct sequence for transforming a sound into a signal that the brain can understand starts with a sound wave, which causes the eardrum to vibrate. This vibration then creates a pressure wave in the fluid of the inner ear.
